Troubleshooting PT Cruiser Error Codes

[lhaine11]

Hi, I bought a pt cruiser 2006 2 weeks ago and after I got home check engine was on. Got the code po700 and p0882. Toom it back to the dealer the they said they fix the p0882 and change the alternator. When I pick it up. Car run good until I put gas on it. Put 89. Then engine light was on again. Check gas cup is ok. Then after a few hours off again. Then pun gas again. Engine light on again. Gear is only 2nd gear. Run so slow.

The dealer likely only cleared the intermittent code and didn't fix it. Take it back to them. P0882 is an electrical issue. Any TCM code will cause P0700 as it is a generic code to alert service personnel to check the TCM for specific codes (P0882 in your case).

Try this: P0882 Low input signal

If you can't do this yourself, print out the thread and show it to the mechanic.

Thanks for the link to the dtc's. I'm sure i'll learn a few things while perusing, although I plugged in my OBDII only to find there are no codes recorded.... even tho my PT wont start !!?

What am i doing wrong?

HELP! I am turning my PT (2.4L, base, standard, 149k) into a dingy to pull behind my Motor home. While hooking up the lights, I had to remove the brake light switch (7 wire harness, I think), got a few sparks and now I have a error code P0031 (O2 sensor upstream). I have replaced the O2 sensor with no effect. Anyone have any ideas where to look next?
